[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
I would like to try to help but I think I'm confused with what you're saying. Are you saying that you are trying to flash this kernel over a 2.2.2 ROM? If so, that's your problem. Just to be clear, what are all the exact specifications are you running (i.e. version of ROM, version of kernel, etc.)?
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Haha we all were scratching our heads too. I thought he was using cm7 the whole time.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
lol....

how is it hard to understand . I have 2.2.2 and i flashed the kernel (8-9-10) but the wi-fi doesn't work . i flashed it with a cache and dalvik wipe ,. i also try it without the wipe . I 'am trying to get help to make it work .

come on that is not confusing at all... _:-)

but good joke . i got a smile out of it
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
Kernel is for 2.3 only

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Confirmed.

Haha
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
how i am surprise it works in this rom . the wi fi in the long run is not important , I am in NYC there is 3g everywhere , in the case i do need it i just flashed the one it come with the rom ,

thank you for your replays ....
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
It was confusing because you never explicitly said what version ROM you were using. Just because you were pulling the kernel from 2.2.2 (Gene's I'm assuming) doesn't mean you weren't using some other ROM. The WiFi doesn't work obviously because the WiFi drivers compatible with this kernel aren't compatible with 2.2.2.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
i know that now...i don't think it wasn't that confusing ..

question , how do you get a new version of CWM , wait . how do you update it , i been looking online i can't find anything...
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
1.) Make sure you have the Aria drivers installed on your computer.

2.) Perform a nandroid backup.

3.) Download CWM 2.5.1.7 here or 4.0.0.5 here. Save to your desktop. (The official version for our Aria is 2.5.0.1. I use 2.5.1.7 because it is the same as 2.5.0.1, but has off-mode charging. 4.0.0.5 is newer, but I've heard it has the potential to be a bit unstable. I don't know from personal experience though because I've never tried it.)

4.) Go here and download Android Flasher.

5.) Hook your Aria to your computer.

6.) Run Android Flasher, and select "Recovery". (It's one of the options on the left side).

7.) Navigate to the location of your recovery.img, and select it. The phone should switch itself to fastboot, then install Clockworkmod. It will then boot into your new recovery.

8.) Restore nandroid.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
before i do this

1.the aria drivers are the ones that come with the htc sync package?

2. The recovery image from the zip is the one that goes in the android flasher, just the

image , nothing else ?

I want to be clear before i go forward.

thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
Yes, the drivers from HTC Sync. Yes, you just pull the recovery.img from the .zip file and place it where ever (desktop, for instance).

Just to be clear, you do have S-OFF, correct? This method is only if you have S-OFF (AlphaRevX/Revolutionary).
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
what does this kernel do exactly and why would i want it?

i am using the latest cm7 nightly.

what are the steps to flash it?

best settings?

obvious step 1 - nandroid current setup.....
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
To name a few reasons:

fast & buttery smooth

CPU clock speed steps better configured for the Aria (battery saving)

Smartass CPU governor

better WiFi performance

To install, just copy to your SD card and flash from CWM. (Must be reflashed after a installing each new nightly)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
thanks. what option do i use in recovery?

just the same install zip from sd card option?
[HTC Aria Android Development] s0be:
This kernel uses the 'AnyKernel' install method, which uses the in-place boot.img and just replaces the kernel image in it, as well as installing the modules in /system/lib. Because of this, it will work with your init.d, assuming the base rom you're using already supports it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] s0be:
I would be interested in seeing the logcat output and the dmesg output when wifi isn't scanning/connecting properly. The kernel really isn't 2.3+ specific, so it's likely some other glitch (specifically in the wifi driver) that's causing the 2.2.2 errors. The logcat output might give some indication as to what the problem is.

I bet it's an rfkill issue, where 2.2.2 doesn't know about rfkill, while our 2.3+ roms do.

If you do:

settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi settings

check the box to turn on wi-fi

menu->scan

Does it find anything?
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
i couldn't get s-off , for some reason the hboot version of my aria 0.5700 the revolutionary method doesn't work with that . that's where I am kind of stock at .
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
hey how do i get you the log cat for the wi fi . i be happy to that for you ...
[HTC Aria Android Development] s0be:
Yeah, you need to RUU to 1.whatever to get S-Off.
[HTC Aria Android Development] s0be:
If you have a working adb setup on your computer:

On Phone: Disable WIFI

On PC: adb logcat > logcat.txt

On Phone: Enable WIFI, Wait 30S or so, go to wifi settings and scan, try to connect, etc.

On PC: CTRL+C

On PC: adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

go to Pastebin.com and paste the contents of logcat.txt, share that link, rinse, repeat with dmesg.txt
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtnlion:
You have to run the stock 2.2.2 ruu to upgrade your hboot to the proper version.be sure to nandroid backup first.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kaboose01:
Nvrmind :) didn't see other posts
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
Follow post #51 here. When you download the revolutionary.zip, you need to extract all the files to your desktop (or a folder) for revolutionary to work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
guys I will try this in the weekend , I've soccer preseason with the college , plus work , i bearly have time . thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] lateral18:
I been busy for the pass weeks . but i did it it was simple. now my phone has s-off. that is cool . later tonight i am going to do the adb log cat , for the wi-fi . again thanks ..i also flashed the CWM off mode using android flasher . the only downside , now juwe's ram script doesn't work , i get boot loops . but i am using the older version .. well thanks again . take care
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
I personally don't use a ram script. I haven't found it to help enough.
[HTC Aria Android Development] winstonma:
Would CPU undervolt be possible?

I am Acer Liquid E user which comes with 1GHz CPU. The factory default is 768Mhz which is underclocked. The custom kernel provide OC capability which I can restore the clock with 960Mhz.

The latest kernel release featured CPU undervolt. The features brings extra power saving as well as extra overclock potential. Now I could run my device normally with 1.2GHz.

I believe this Aria kernel could try undervolting the CPU.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
there are no kernels(to my knowledge) that provide UV on msm7227 cpus otherwise it surely would be included ;)

and from a quick search the liquid E seems to be snapdragon
[HTC Aria Android Development] winstonma:
Yes it's snapdragon.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Theonew:
Did a quick search and found this: http://android-xperiax8.blogspot.com/2011/06/x8overclock-multiple-frequencies-cpu.html . The Sony Xperia X8 has the same cpu, and a version of the kernel there supports UV although it's experimental.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
seems that they use a different version of the cpu, some PLLs are swapped(whats used for clock generation) and i dont fully understand the code, and they are using a very old(eclair/2.6.29) kernel

i've been trying to get another kernel going, arco's msm7225 kernel, as its the chacha/wildfireS kernels modded to work on that chip, whats holding it back is the gpu/frambuffer and seems to not want to build correctly :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] s0be:
Got a tree I can clone? I ran through similar stuff getting the heroc onto recent hardware.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
all on my github(msm7225 repo), i reverted the gpu changes(locally, never pushed), all it was, was files from /drivers/video/msm from the code aurora .38 msm repo(closest to the files in arco's source, that i seen)

i just dont have my hands on the device enough to toy around, i have the urge to trade my girl this infuse ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Divino:
I am very sorry to report that many of us are having a lot of problems with this kernel and the latest nightly (and the last stable): after a few hours, the data transmission is interrupted (3g and also wi-fi), and you must restart the phone.

We tried to use standard clock and governor but the problems continue and the only solution is to give up this kernel.

Probably the problem is born with a switch to Android 2.3.7, I hope is not serious and an update comes out soon, we love this kernel!

Thanks for everything.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i am using the stable 7.1 and this kernel and have no issues with data dropping out, i did have those issues on nightlies -before- i did a full wipe going to the stable build
[HTC Aria Android Development] elk2210:
Hi folks,

does this kernel work on a HTC Legend with CM 7.1.0 stable?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: As I understand it should work.

But which version is the newest working? "drowningkernel 8.9.1" or "drowningkernel 9a"?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
please use 8-9-1, 9a has brokenness
[HTC Aria Android Development] Theonew:
It will work but not very well at the moment. Look at what he said in the post above yours.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i honestly dont understand how its breaking anything?

the aria i have runs 8-9-1 and has NO DATA ISSUES wifi or 3g

if anyone gets the issue you can find me on irc in #liberatedaria or #infuse4g just private message me there
[HTC Aria Android Development] elk2210:
No WIFI for me to with Kernel v8.9.1 and CM7.1.0stable on my Legend.

Restoring Nandroid-Backup at the moment.

EDIT: I flashed the ZIP with CWM v5.0.2.0.

Any suggestions?

EDIT 2: The one in this post seems to work fine. I flashed the one without graphical modifications (drowningkernel-8-9-1_mod.zip).
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
wifi never worked for legend/espresso, they use a different wifi driver, which isnt included in this kernel

that kernel is based off my source same as 8-9-1
[HTC Aria Android Development] madsnake53:
hey drowningchild im using the nightlys and ive notice the data issues, do you know when youll have that fix i love this kernel thanks in advance
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
-sigh-

do people not read what i post??

IF YOU HAVE DATA ISSUES, TRY TO CONTACT ME IN IRC, in #infuse4g or #liberatedaria on freenode, just private message me......

MY ARIA HAS NO ISSUES USING THE LATEST NIGHTLY, WITH MY KERNEL....
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
Who reads anymore? :P

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] s0be:
If you have data issues, re-install gapps (a recent one).
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
There havent been any changes i see on github(https://github.com/CyanogenMod/htc-kernel-msm7227/commits/master) for awhile as i can see

& it downloads fine for me(on pc), might be the browser issues on the phone as ive had Dl'ing files use an alternate browser

EDIT: the update youre likely thinking of is to the build.prop(build properties) dealing with 3g speeds
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
OK, thanks.

I don't know what my problem is just when trying to download the Update.zip file from my main workstation, but I moved over to another system and it downloaded fine.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tritron777:
Wireless tethering forces phone to reboot when I stop it. It fails to connect to wireless G network.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
It's been approved and merged. We're just waiting for buildbot resurrection and the changes will be in the next nightly.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zedbra:
nice work guys:)

any recommendations for a Benchmark app?? im using free "Linpack for Android" app to run CPU speed test... is there another i could use for more accurate data?? Thanks

settings: 200/806 Performance. pretty snappy:)
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
performance will have it stay @ 806 only, i suggest interactive
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
Updated first post
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Ok so now that we have FM radio going on cm7, what's it going to take to get that functionality built into a kernel with these frequencies? Or am I way off in left field and the kernel isn't affected with the FM radio and i can still just flash this over the FM rom?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
already there in the first post :)

it all works

kernel isnt affected
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Perfect. What could be better than a butter smooth cm7 with fm radio and a kernel with all the frequencies you could ever need!
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
This ROM is based off of which nightly? Just curious.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
based off of the FM radio special build but i just cooked up nightly 13 needs to be uploaded

you can flash update.zip to flash just the kernel :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Thanks Drowning - running your custom kernel v3 over nightly 13. So far working beautifully at 200/787 interactive. Just a couple of comments if I may -

My particular device does not play nice overclocked to 806 - the market crashes back to the homescreen almost every time, and other apps start to act strange/crash to homescreen at random times. I don't know if others ever experience this, or if I'm the only (un)lucky one who can only run 787. However, perhaps a default setting slightly less aggressive (768 or something) might be helpful to some. No big deal certainly, but a first time user might run into issues and have trouble sorting them out.

Also, since you are starting to generate more kernels, maybe some quick comments right with the download link, such as what it was based on or other relevant details, would be helpful. That way it's easy to tell when you've made an update, and what is included, without having to dig through the thread every time!

Thanks again for your work on this!

DD

Edit: I should clarify the above - it its certainly not your kernel that is causing my instability at 806, my device has had problems at that freq on every OC rom I have ever run.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zedbra:
200/806 Interactive, not even a hiccup:) Works perfectly, avg. 955 mflops
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i couldnt get the deault to set, it always boots @ 600 on my device.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Strange. it was 806/245 interactive on boot for me. Perhaps it was a change in the nightlies? This was a clean install of 13 for me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
New kernel up

should boot @ 768 now :)

i/o changed to deadline to test
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
updated 1st post
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
How do I install this doo hickey
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
Just flash it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
What is the latest gapps?/link?

thanks,

Mike
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
read the 1st post in the cm 7.1 thread
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
Thanks! I hope this fixes the data
[HTC Aria Android Development] s0be:
It looks like this just made it less common on my phone. Will get a logcat and dmesg of it todayish
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
gapps isn't necessary, right? I downloaded from the market what I wanted...I don't want to be stuck with apps that I don't want (carhome....If I remember correctly, these are not able to be uninstalled)
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
The Market itself is part of the gapps package, so if you have Market, you must have installed gapps. (Unless you manually installed the Market apk separate from the rest of the package, which is fine.)

Some of the apps included in the Google Apps package can't be downloaded from the Market, but most of them can.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Theonew:
Of course they can be uninstalled. They can be uninstalled using a root uninstaller app.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Running n234 with new gapps and Mr. drowningchilds 8.9.1. But before hand was running n233 with d's 8.9.1 all day with new gapps with not a single data issue. With heavy usage to. I feel that i'm back to normal again :D

Edit: not so normal :( data issue reappeared this morning. Wierd. I'll have to talk to drowning on the irc.
[HTC Aria Android Development] b-reezy:
It's weird I installed this kernel and now the phone doesn't charge. It shows that it's charging but the battery just continues to die. Any ideas?
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
about a month ago I did a fresh install (all data/user data/everything wipe), installed a CM nightly, and part of the setup process, which included entering my e-mail, blah, blah, blah, included a list of google apps that I wish to download from the market, however I have not installed a gapps zip since back in the day of CM6.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
If that is true, then you didn't do a completely clean install. The thing that comes up and asks you which Google Apps you want to install is part of the gapps package. If you don't install it (or already have it installed), then it will NOT appear.

When you install a ROM it will just overwrite the ROM and deliberately leave any Google Apps present. So it's very possible to install CM7 and the Google Apps from your prevent installation will remain there. To prevent that from happening you have to format the system partition before flashing the ROM (under the "mounts and storage" submenu in CWM).
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
What was the outcome when you talked to DC?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
^^ haven't had a chance yet because I've been loaded with allot of work. I'll update when I do though.
[HTC Aria Android Development] n5kjb:
Have been running n233 for several days - stock kernal. Then installed dc 8.9.1 - data issues within six hours. Did a complete wipe and system format - installed n233 and dc 8.91. Data issues again reappeard.

Did a complete wipe and system format - again installed n233 - no data issues.

Suspect this post actually should be in DC thread, but have decided to post my experiences here first.:)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
.

Meh, same story here for me :/ Darn, I love that kernel, phone feels way more snappy and the sluggish wake up when someone calls you is even worst with the stock kernel, so nothing to do with the governor.

So if someone knows the answer to the problem, plz post it here! I have no time to IRC him.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
im on irc tonight, maybe late night so, someone please try

freenode

#infuse4g

#liberatedaria
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
I'll be on in about an hour. Lets see if we can knock this thing out.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
bumping with kernel I provided to test to lsusparky621

version 8-9-2a
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
^^ sweet! Can't wait to heat about how it goes. Thanks duder! You is the man!
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
892a still has data problem.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i really dont know whats conflicting :\
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
As soon as the problem happens again, I'll have the dmesg and logcat. As an aside, I'm finding that 892a is a bit more sluggish than 891 when the data is working.
[HTC Aria Android Development] uacvax:
2 days ago. I take that to be a good sign it hasn't happened since?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
oh its happened :P

hes been in contact
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
Sadly, but yes. No resolution has been found yet though.
[HTC Aria Android Development] madsnake53:
hey if you need a tester always willing to help out?

ive had the problem with the data on wifi and 3G
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
And what does that mean?
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
When I was at my house, I was constantly connected to wifi flawlessly, however, once I left I could connect to data, however it occasionally disconnected and would reconnect about a minute later, whereas that was not the case previously....again, might just be my area. Connecting to the public libraries wifi (the only other wifi I have tested) seems to be slower (could just be the internet though)

I have not tested 8.9.1 with any of the recent nighties, which is why I am unsure if it is the changes in the kernel or just my specific location

clearly this is very limited testing and nothing to base any judgements on...However without any doubt I will say that I DO have data back, which is why I encourage others to test out the kernel again (both 8.9.1 and 8.9.2a) and report results.

-Mike
[HTC Aria Android Development] arnienz:
Upgraded to this last night. Now my wifi connects but won't load

What kernal should I downgrade to and where do I get it from?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Theonew:
Just reflash CM7.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Was running 8.9.1 with n237? For two days and the data loss happened again. Did a bunch of different things to make it fail to see what the heck is going on. But problem happened when the phone was in deep sleep using 3g. I woke the phone up and nothing would load or refresh. Even toggled airplane mode and still didn't work. A reboot fixed it. Just to let you know. now on n242 without this kernel. its a sad day for me. Hope we figure thus puppy out.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
nightly 237 was broken for me as well, but data was restored for nightly 242. try this kernel again. it def works for me
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
I "think" the problem can be narrowed down to an issue with deep sleep. The data problem always occurs for me when I wake up in the morning (thus my phone has been in deep sleep mode over the night). The problem with deep sleep occurs for me when I leave wifi or 3G on over the night.
[HTC Aria Android Development] SKAm69:
Modified version of 8-9-1 has working wifi on Espresso (MT3GS) and reportedly on Legend.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
Not quite like that for me, but maybe you have a point. Sometimes my wifi/data died (all this with DC kernel, never with stock) while deep sleeping, but other times I would wake up the phone, use the internet normally and then within the hour - fail.

For now I'm with stock as I feel the phone more snappy with the n242. But I can only think it would be snappier with DC's kernel.
[HTC Aria Android Development] madsnake53:
hey there is anyone still having the problem with the data issue i havent heard the outcome?4
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
Yep, the problem is still there.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
not here :p
[HTC Aria Android Development] mbudden:
Is there any way to flash the stock kernel back onto the device? Don't really feel like reflashing CM7 etc etc.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
just reflash cm, but dont wipe /data

or if youre smart enough you can use fastboot, for boot.img, and adb for bcm4329.ko
[HTC Aria Android Development] mbudden:
Thanks mate. Love the kernel, but just the data issue is annoying :(

Sometimes it wouldn't do it all day, and another time it would do it an hour after reboot. Really buggy :(
